+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.I Hack
+is a display oriented dungeons & dragons - like game.
+Both display and command structure resemble rogue.
+(For a game with the same structure but entirely different display -
+a real cave instead of dull rectangles - try Quest.)
+.PP
+To get started you really only need to know two commands.  The command
+.B ?
+will give you a list of the available commands and the command
+.B /
+will identify the things you see on the screen.
+.PP
+To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people high
+scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere below
+the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out.  Nobody has achieved this
+yet and if somebody does, he will probably go down in history as a hero
+among heros.
+.PP
+When the game ends, either by your death, when you quit, or if you escape
+from the caves,
+.I hack
+will give you (a fragment of) the list of top scorers.  The scoring
+is based on many aspects of your behaviour but a rough estimate is
+obtained by taking the amount of gold you've found in the cave plus four
+times your (real) experience. Precious stones may be worth a lot of gold
+when brought to the exit.
+There is a 10% penalty for getting yourself killed.
+.PP
+The administration of the game is kept in the directory specified with the
+.B \-d
+option, or, if no such option is given, in the directory specified by
+the environment variable HACKDIR, or, if no such variable exists, in
+the current directory. This same directory contains several auxiliary
+files such as lockfiles and the list of topscorers and a subdirectory
+.I save
+where games are saved.
+The game administrator may however choose to install hack with a fixed
+playing ground, usually /usr/games/lib/hackdir.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-n
+option suppresses printing of the news.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-u
+.I playername
+option supplies the answer to the question "Who are you?".
+When
+.I playername
+has as suffix one of
+.B \-T \-S \-K \-F \-C \-W
+then this supplies the answer to the question "What kind of character ... ?".
+.PP
+The
+.B \-s
+option will print out the list of your scores. It may be followed by arguments
+.B \-X
+where X is one of the letters C, F, K, S, T, W to print the scores of
+Cavemen, Fighters, Knights, Speleologists, Tourists or Wizards.
+It may also be followed by one or more player names to print the scores of the
+players mentioned.
+.SH AUTHORS
+Jay Fenlason (+ Kenny Woodland, Mike Thome and Jon Payne) wrote the
+original hack, very much like rogue (but full of bugs).
+.br
+Andries Brouwer continuously deformed their sources into the current
+version - in fact an entirely different game.
